Rewinding, Warping, Knitting, Double Folding Services

In addition to supplying fabrics, Fairlane provides yarn rewinding, warping, knitting and double folding services. As a trading partner, our capabilities and care are available to customers whether or not they purchase finished fabrics.

If there are in-house capacity or capability limitations, we will outsource any particular manufacturing aspect to meet our customer’s fabric requirements. Even for competitors, Fairlane will take any customer’s packaged yarn, and we will rewind, warp into beams, knit into greige fabric, inspect, double-fold or re-roll it.

Yarn Rewinding: Reconfigure package yarn to your specifications

Warping: Our warping department is able to assist you in your warping needs in end counts up to 1340. We are well equipped to handle the latest large style cheese packages.

Yarn Type

Filament Yarns: Filament yarns are yarns produced through the extrusion process. The filament is continuous from beginning to end. There is no 'hairiness' to the product made from filament yarns unless it is intentionally applied post finishing.

Spun Yarns: Spun yarns are produced from short pieces of yarn and spun into a single strand. Upon examination the spun yard reveals the ends of the short pieces sticking up.

Yarn Size

Yarn size is the single largest determining factor in weight and opacity of fabric. Our fabrics run in the range of 15 denier to 150 denier.

Yarn Luster

Yarn may be bright, dull or semi dull, usually dependent on the customer's aesthetic requirements.

Filament Count

Filament count effects the hand of the finished fabric; the higher the count, the softer the hand. Filament count also effects the appearance of the finished fabric with lower filament counts effecting a leaner appearance.

Yarn Color

Yarns can be dyed by the manufacturer prior to fabric formation thereby achieving high colorfastness and color consistency from lot to lot.

Specialty Yarn Properties

Fabric Width

Warp knit fabrics of our manufacture have the distinct advantage of being delivered to the customer in widths from as low as 1/4" to 220". In order to achieve widths of less than 36", our fabrics generally require a post production slitting process.

Fabric Weight

Fabric weight is the single largest determining factor in performance and cost. Fabric weights produced on our equipment can range from .45 ounces per square yard to 8.5 ounces per square yard.

Fabric Coloration

Fabrics may be dyed after they are manufactured into virtually any color or they may be left in their natural state. Colors can be submitted for matching by the customer on other fabrics, other products or Pantone number. We have a wide variety of colors in our archives from which customers can choose. In some cases, solution dyed yarns can be used instead of fabric finishing to achieve extremely consistent color matching from lot to lot or very high color fastness.

Heatset

The fundamental principle of yarns used in manufacturing our product line is that in order to change the permanent shape of our fabrics, heat must be applied in excess of heat previously applied. Low heats during fabric processing will allow low heats used by customers to change the shape of the fabric. Fabrics can be permanently molded into shape by the customer through the application of heat in excess of our processing temperatures. Processing temperatures can be dictated by customer needs.

Surface Treatment

Fabrics can be printed for appearance, embossed for texture and appearance, brushed for softness.

Finish and Hand

Finishing additives can be used to achieve hands from very soft to very firm for a variety of end uses. Finishes may be water soluble or not.
